This delightful family-run cafe dishes up delicious pies, cookies, quiche
and cakes. Inside it's a Gustavian-meets-rustic-chic interior, while outside chairs and
tables spill onto the cobbles come summer. Friendly staff wear traditional Saxon garb. Oh,
and the blackberry muffins: they'll turn your day around.
CAFE
Casa Dracula $$

(Str Cositorarilor 5; mains 28 lei; )
Despite the ghoulish Dracula bust mounted to the
wall, the house where Vlad was born could have been dealt a worse blow than this atmo-
spheric, wood-panelled restaurant. The menu scuttles from tomato soup to salmon fillet -
all with Dracula-related references. With a little embellishing from you, your kids will
love it.
